In a music studio in Kyiv, they wrote their first composition.[2] The first song of Artik & Asti was «Антистресс». Their next song «Моя последняя надежда» appeared on radio airwaves & brought them fame.[3] A video for the song garnered 1.5 million views on YouTube over the course of a few months.[4][5] Their third single «Облака» entered the top 100 most played songs in Russia.[6] In 2013 they released the composition «Сладкий сон», for which the music video has over 2 million views on YouTube.[6] The group performed many tours in Russia and in Europe.[7]
